Following is the General’s last message b written the day before hig deatb . In it the causes wb ; ch led to his unceremonious taking off are explained: Boulanger’s last message. This is my political testament. It is my desire that it be myself published after my I death. I shall kill tomorrow. am convinced of the iuture of the party of which I have given my name. I can not bear the frightful misfortune which befell me two and a half months ago. I have tried to get the better of it, but have not succeeded. I am persuaded and that my followers are so devoted so numerous that they will bear me no anger for disappearing ou account of a sorrow so great that all work has become impos t-ible to me. Let them remember the maxim, “uno avulso non deficit alter,” and may they continue then to act against those who, in scorn of all laws, forced me to die far from my country. Tomorrow I shall be a dead man. To day I have done nothing to reproach my self with. All my life I have done my duty and nothing but myself, my duty. My death is no shame to but it is a shame for my proscribers; those who sought to brand a loyal soldier by the judgment of a political tribunal. I desire to recall the fact that I have many times offered to constitute myself a prisoner if they would accord me common law judges. This the holders of power have always refused. Thus acquittal was but not possible. In quitting life 1 have one regret—that I have not died on the field of battle fighting for my couutry. That country at least wi.l permit one of its children, at the moment of returning into nothingness, to recall himself to the m> mory of all lovers of LaPatrie. \ivela France 1 vive la repitblique! under hand the Do ’e and signed my on eve of the day ot my death. Earnest Boulanger. A Paris cablegram of Thursday says: Mme. Boulanger, wife of General Bou langer, who is living at Versailles, was overcome with grief when informed ot her husband’s tragic death in the ceme¬ tery at Ixelles, near Brussels, Sbe fainted twice within a short time after hearing the sad news, and is at present very much depressed in spirits. WIIAT THE PRESS SAYS. The fact that, the suicide of Boulanger made no impression upon European bourses, indicates the low ebb of the ial’s influence. The London Times, in commenting on the suicide of Bou i an „ e rsays: “Boulanger cleared the air 0 f French politics. If the republic is again menaced, the danger will come from more upright and manlv aspirants for power thaQ the Qrleanist of Bon npartist intriguers, who figure in “coul i 9S es du Boulangiste.” correspondent of the Lon The yi enna don Standard says: Boulanger’s suicide is the subject of conversation every where. His fate is compared with Bal maceda, which probably suggested it. Characteristic stories aie in circulation about his devices to hide his impecunios ity. Many knowing his circumstances anticipated that such would be his end. The Paris correspondent of the Times says: “Boulanger’s only excuse is, that being once commonplace and sincere, he served without suspicion as an instrument of others. The irretrievable depth of his fate shows that France, henceforward mistress of her destinies, is no longer likely to take upon herself a master, With his corpse will be buried the latest personification of that execrable race known as the saviors of society. A cablegram of Thursday from Brus¬ sels says: It has been decided that the funeral of Boulanger will take place Snt urday afternoon. Henri Rochefort will attend the funeral, which will be a pure¬ ly civil ceremony.

Only twelve years have elapsed since the first crude suggestions of the practi¬ cal working of an electric railway were made, and four years ago a list of a dozen would comprise every such road in the world in even passably successful opera¬ tion, whatever the method of application. The first large commercial electric rail¬ way was, after many difficulties and dis¬ couragements, opened in the early part of 1888 at Richmond, Ya.; and since that demonstration was made, the indus¬ try has grown until there are now in operation or under contract, on the general lines laid down at Richmond, not less than 350 roads in the United States, Europe, Australia, and Japan, re¬ quiring more than 4000 car3 and 7000 motors, with more than 2600 miles of track, a daily mileage of nearly 500,000 miles, and carrying nearly a billion pas¬ sengers annually. Fuliy 10,000 people are employed on these roads, and there has never been an authenticated report of death on account of the electrical pres¬ sure used. Over $50,000,000 are in vested in this industry in this country alone.— The Forum. For the King’s Pleasure. In ancient records we find mention of four-wheeled carriages drawn by mules, to convey in vessels set apart the water of a noted river, for the use of a king then engaged in battle; for none other would the royal gentleman accept as a beverage, and even that not only until it had been boiled in silver vessels. In such princely manner rumbled the water-cart withersoever it might please his Highness to travel.— Harper's Weekly.

Starved nerves, starved muscles, become strong when the right kind of food is supplied, and a thousand weaknesses and ailments disappear as the nerves recover. As tha nervous system must supply all the power by which the vital forces of the body are carried on, it is the first to suffer for want of perfect nutrition.
